If I had the abilities, money, and properties to make it happen, I would gladly bring Amalgam Universe.
That idea was so cool! Some of the best characters together! The possibilities were endless.
So, in honor of Amalgam Universe, I want to share my ideas if it were ever up to me to bring it back.
Starting with one of the classics: The Batman and Wolverine Combo.
Or more precisely the Batfamily (the ones I've come up with ideas for already) and Wolverine (plus others) Combo.
This is going to be Part 1.
Bruce Wayne x Logan Howlett: The Bat.
The name would be either Bruce Howlett, or Logan Wayne and I'm more inclined to Bruce Howlett since that is a much cooler surname in my opinion.
At age eight, Bruce Howlett sees his parents being murdered in his homeland of Canada (I don't know what city or even district specifically, but Canada nonetheless), in the 1800s.
The traumatic experience was enough to activate his metagene. Bone blades sprung from his knuckles three in total at each hand and he promptly went on a savage rampage and murdered his parent's killer.
In his grief and shame, the young Howlett tried to kill himself however he also found that his found healed at an impressive rate. He jumped from cliffs, tried drowning himself, and even tried to shoot himself, but none of it was capable of finishing the job.
He started to search for the worst possible environments to finally find a way to overcome his anger and loneliness. He went through wars, revolutions, uprisings, and coups, but none of them were capable of finishing the job.
Then he founded a special task force, Special Task Force X, founded by one called Waller (it's Amanda's great-great-grandfather). This is the first-ever Suicide Squad, with members ready to throw their lives on the line for the greater good.
However, he soon found out that it was just a front to fund the USA's insatiable need for resources and technological advancements. He was sent on a mission to retrieve a material named unobtanium, which was found on the coast of Africa
There they raid the compound of a Warlord after this metal. However, it was not a warlord, but a simple leader of a tribe who wanted to make things better with his help. Bruce still reminded the faces of the people whose blood stained his claws and hands that day.
That was when he retired and left Task Force X, and found his way back to his homeland, and tried living a normal life as a lumberjack. However, things couldn't be so easy.
He was found by his former employers. And while they accepted many of his refusals, they surely wouldn't take no as an answer forever. They induced him into another of his rages, and he ended up murdering his wife.
They kidnapped him and admitted him into a special facility where they were trying to recreate a super soldier as the old Super Captain from World War 2.
They abused his healing factor to the extremes improving it further, until they came with one last test to his body. He was sedated and even then it wasn't enough. The pain of the procedure of metal being coated over his bones was the worst he had ever felt. Thousand of needles pumping liquid hot metal in his body, burning him from the inside while he healed himself was unbearable.
When it was done nothing of his old self remained. Just a beast now with the best armor in the world, and the ability to heal from all the worst wounds imaginable.
It took him one year to bring himself back to reality. And accompanied by that, the worst possible case of amnesia possible.
He continued traveling alone until he ended up in a city on the east coast of the United States where he would never be found.
Gotham was dark and swarmy, its smells clinging to his nostrils, and not a single patch of green life around this industrial hell. He was found by a man Charles Pennyworth/Alfred Xavier. who showed him a home. A home made for those like him with extraordinary abilities.
Pennyworth's School for Gifted Children. It was a paradise if he was being honest, many like him reunited to learn how to harness their powers and to make the world a better place.
In there he learned his skeleton was coated in something called Adamantium, made from remnants of Hercule's mace coupled with a rare material called Vibranium. he learned how to become someone he was proud of.
However, the world wasn't ready for them. even with many of them trying to help the world, it was still afraid of those with powers, labeling them mutants and freaks. The school was always the target of some sort of attack.
When he was searching the underground cave system underneath Gotham and the School, looking for a place to create a path for them to escape should the need arise, he found himself slipping and falling to the deep end of the caves where a colony of bats lived.
He thought that he would never feel fear again, but these small beasts confounding him with too many sounds, smells and in the dark, made his skin crawl, and forced him to close himself so their teeth wouldn't keep pulling the skin on his face.
He was found a few hours ago with a newfound fear of bats. And he suddenly had an epiphany.
If the kindness of Professor Pennyworth wasn't enough he would become the fear in the night. He would become the dark protector. He would use all he learned to show that they were both capable of great kindness and terrifying fear just like any other human.
He would protect the School and this strange city which had become his home as The Dark Knight, The Unseen Shadow, he would become a unyielding symbol. He would become the Bat.
